Alpha Centauri Lyrics by Kids Learning Tube

Size Comparisons and Universe Facts

2020

We're Alpha Centauri
The closest star system to the solar system your Earth is from
Alpha Centauri is a triple star system
We're 4.37 light years away from your sun

We're Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B
Which forms a pair of stars called Binary
Alpha Centauri A officially Rigil Kentaurus
Alpha Centauri B officially Toliman I trust
Centauri C officially Proxima Centauri
Here we'll learn about our size and our luminosity

Alpha Centauri A and B are Sun-like stars
We're the brightest stars in the constellation Centaurus by far
Alpha Centauri A has 1.1 times the mass and 1.5 times the luminosity of the Sun in this class
Alpha Centauri B is smaller and cooler you should know
At 0.9 times the Sun's mass and 0.4 the luminosity shown
We orbit around a common center
Or around one another so you'd understand better
With an orbital period of almost 80 years by far
And from a distance we're so close we look like one star

I'm Proxima Centauri, a small and faint red dwarf star
You cannot see me with the naked eye though I'm the closest star by far
I'm about 4.24 light years from the Earth
And I'm the closest star to the Sun for what that is worth
Discovered in 1915 by astronomer Robert Innes I'm sure
In South Africa at the Union Observatory in Johannesburg
My Latin name Proxima Centauri means when this is defined
Nearest star of Centaurus, that's all that's assigned

We're Alpha Centauri
The closest star system to the solar system your Earth is from
Alpha Centauri is a triple star system
We're 4.37 light years away from your sun

We're Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B
Which forms a pair of stars called Binary
Alpha Centauri A officially Rigil Kentaurus
Alpha Centauri B officially Toliman I trust
Centauri C officially Proxima Centauri
Here we'll learn about our size and our luminosity
